Update - It is confirmed that it is Episode VIII as Space Bear has been mentioned on the filming proposal. Space Bear is the working title of Star Wars Episode VIII

The Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht have issued a film permit for a limited amount of filming by a production company on Ceann Sibéal on the Dingle Peninsula later this year.Ceann Sibéal is at the western tip of the Dingle Peninsula and it's a sure bet that it's for Star Wars Episode VIII. Rian Johnson and his crew, are set to return there for around 2 weeks in mid May. Already, preparation has begun as a 1.5km metal roadway is being constructed in the location.It's not known who will join Johnson and his crew, but given that the area is quite similar to Skellig Michael (where Johnson shot some footage as well as J.J. Abrams for the end of The Force Awakens) we can speculate that it will be Mark Hamill and Daisy Ridley teaming up for some potential training scenes.
